but kind of broke any tips

You can actually "gain" more weight without buying into weight gainer powders and the like. The trick is to consume the right type of foods that build muscle (which will help you weigh more) and are healthy. Some examples are peanut butter and meats (lean is best). If you are very active, be sure to increase your caloric intake, otherwise your already high metabolism will just burn off excess and leave you at the same weight.

For the squats and deadlifts, I suggest you lookup Staring Strength by Mark Ripptoe. There are even spreadsheets out there that will give you the right routine and even the amount of weight to use. As far as the milk goes, it has to be whole milk. It's also in addition to your normal meal routine.

This will work better and faster than using any "weight gainer" crap you can buy.

I followed this program for 8 weeks and went from 152 to 176 and put 40+ pounds on my max for each of sqauts, deadlifts, and bench press. I was also doing cardio in the mornings (unit PT), so I may have gained a little more weight without doing the extra cardio everyday. And yes some of the weight will be fat, but you burn most of that off at basic anyway.

The key is not only to increase your daily caloric intake but to spread it out as well. This is always tricky as you need to find creative ways to add calories on top of what your already eating. If you let 6-8 hours a day go by without any calories you are reducing your chances of gaining anything. Many guys I know who have been successful with gaining weight have started by logging all nutritional items consumed daily. This tracking system will give you a much better idea for where your mistakes are coming from. There are free diet trackers that you can find on google to help you with the calculations.
